I have flown mine hundreds of times a lot farther then your 30m(90ft) up and 50m away with no issues. This is why I am trying to find something that might be triggering these random falls and yes they are random or we all would be experiencing them and I and thousands of other people are not. Its either something you guys are doing with your batteries for storage and care, Or you have really bad luck. Thats all I can figure out.
It is not about flying it further away for the test. I did flight to "the very end of the remote-connection" before, it is about testing it higher and over your head, just for the bird in a distance to the starting point!
You need minimum to get out of the bottom sensors reach!
And you need to give the bird reason to calculate RTH-options, climbing to RTH height, distance, ....!
Or in other words:
Testing it just in front of you and in a height, where falling is not doing something, will not get you anything.
Aside that hovering is one of the few flightmodes, where the power usage is mostly total linear.
Get it up, fly around, use sport, fly a flight plan, do some Spheres during hovering (needs MORE power, for CPU and correcting/moving bird and gimbal) and "park it" in the end, 25-30% battery, a lot over the HP's altitude.
And, perhaps, use a battery which wasn't freshly charged.
Or the "second half" of one, that you used a bit earlier from 100 to 50% or such.
And because I do understand that no one wanna test that in 30 or 50 or xxx m height:
Start it somewhere below the point, you can later fly it in some meter over ground, but the bird thinks it is in 30/50/.... m!
And it still need at least to be out reach of the ground sensors!
I assume you can see a reson for that, right?
As I wrote, I did it like you, to establish a value for "autolanding critical battery level", in 1-2 m height, almost over the starting point.
I got 1 digit numbers before the autolanding, on all 3 batteries
And it landed easily.
But a couple of days later I flew one battery nicely around and landed it safe. And the next battery was :
No RTH attempt (about 50m away from starting point, but still 40-50m under RTH height)
Instead "critical battery auto landing" from 30m
And falling the last 15m to the ground.
Still had 20% battery left, afterwards
